Firewall

Services

Unprotected servers exposed to the internet are vulnerable to all kinds of malicious hacking activity, including denial-of-service and brute-force attacks. These kinds of attacks can lead to system downtime and data theft. Our bespoke, highly-available firewalls guard against attacks and intrusion from the internet to help keep your data safe and your web-connected services online.

Our flexible and easy-to-use firewall configuration options allow you to specify exactly which services are accessible on your servers, either via the control panel or using our API*

Access to all non-standard ports is blocked. The ports that are accessible include those for web services such as HTTP, SSH, SMTP and POP3. Ports to allow remote access via SSH, Remote Desktop and cPanel / WHM are also open.

The self-managed firewalling option gives you complete control over your firewall rules, either using the Memset control panel or via our API. This service is recommended for users with specialist requirements of those familiar with firewalling.

With our fully managed option, you can do as much or as little as you like. You have the option of making changes yourself or alternatively, we can make firewall changes on instruction from you. We can also offer advice about the best firewall rules to fit your needs.

This service is available for all Servers and Cloud VPS on our Managed Platform Support Level.
